Evidently, a man driving a 1990's black Dodge Dakota with paint missing pulled into their car lot asking to look at the 2013 Chevy truck. The salesman handed the subject keys to the vehicle and the man later handed the keys back. The next day, the truck was gone. That is when it was realized that the man actually handed the salesman the wrong keys and came back that night and reportedly stole the Chevy.

The truck, valued at just under $20,000, was entered into the National Crime and Information Center database. So far, it has not been located.
